Review on πŸŽ™οΈ Audio-Technica AT897 Shotgun Microphone: Ultimate Line/Gradient Condenser for Superior Audio Capture by Evan Sharma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent microphone

Excellent microphone. Many "comparison" videos between this mic and other more expensive mics seem to show that the pricier mics "sound better" due to the slight treble boost. This fools the listener into thinking "the more expensive the microphone, the better". In fact, every microphone is calibrated differently in terms of frequency response. It is enough to simply boost a certain frequency in your DAW to add the frequency you hear in a "more expensive" microphone and thus both microphones will sound the same. Basically, this mic is flawless and sounds amazing. I used it for interviews, guitar, everything. I like the way it's set up and it goes well with my preamps. The price is also a great feature :) You will definitely not be dissatisfied with this microphone. Excellent purchase.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Secret

Would definitely recommend this. It’s expensive, but it’s so sturdy and high quality.
